Today I have spent all day, (yes all day), swapping a set of pipes on my t120..
What should have been a relatively easy job turned into me now needing therapy…..
The exhausts come with link pipes and gaskets to get you started.. the trouble is the gaskets, (actually Triumph ones in a Triumph bag), are what caused all of the problems.. I dont know if any one has done one of these swaps but what a pain in the arse they turned out to be.. Too many parts that move about while you are trying to line up to get some sort of symmetry on the two pipes.. And then the Poxy gaskets would not seal correctly, and are still not right, but had to walk away from it to enable me to collect my thoughts over a few beers..
Is there a correct way to get the pipes to seal correctly? Not that I really want to but is it worth using a small smear of exhaust sealing paste to get them to seal correctly.. Although that being said its almost like the pipe clip will not close tight enough to seal the exhaust from leaking..
Has any one else had this problem? and if so how did they get over it..?
Thanks for any help in this issue..
